CNN has become unwatchable today - they're wall to wall "Debate"...

Every ten minutes or so they run their commercial screaming the names of all the candidates, they have their pictures at the bottom of the screen and a video of the stage at the left side. They've reduced a 50" screen down to about 32"!

If anyone waking up this morning who watches CNN didn't know the debate was tonight, they've been sleeping for weeks.

I think I'll watch the Cartoon Channel the rest of the day.

are unwatchable. Too many candidates, too little time. No way to assess any candidate while they all are trying for the gotcha moment for tomorrow's commentary.

Amazing news channel. Reminds me of the old National and Journal from the CBC.
